    This game is a waste of money. Do not buy it. If you do, you will realize that you may be able to travel to an infinite (practically) number of planets, and be bored on all of them.

    The choice of direction in this game is exactly what Sean Murray and Hello Games has talked about from the beginning. It has been many hours of fun exploration, cataloging and lore learning from the get go.

It has been many hours of fun exploration, cataloging and lore learning from the get go.

    THE GOODS:
    - The ability to explore space without feeling claustrophobic
    - The plethora of land air and sea creatures YOU get to name and tag
    - The deep stories that are embedded in the game and its seemingly hidden agenda
    - The beautiful Colors and array of lands
    - The fact that you HAVE to learn to survive and learn how to use everything without a cheat sheet or guide.
    - The cool ability to write your own story in the universe that will be uniquely yours and your choice.

    THE BADS:
    - HUMAN EXPECTATION: We as people when given the opportunity to think for ourselves create our own fillers. so As this game leaves open from the beginning a universe with practically infinite options, our minds, before playing the game, have already created creatures, worlds, and adventures in our minds. This causes a dilemma as Hello games and Sean Murray have NO ability to read everyone's minds. They had a specific goal with the universe and implemented aspects to generate it. So if a persons creative ideas do not show up in this sandbox of a universe, they will immediately hate everything about it, which is not fair justification for saying its a bad game.
    - BIG BUSINESS: Unfortunately being in marketing I see and know if you have money, you can make anyone disappear. This is common in media outlets like movies, books and game reviews. Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist but I think the fact that Hello Games has created something beyond a scope of imagination and only with a small team put them under a bulls-eye for larger companies to take hits on them. and just like in courts, if your adversary has more money than you and can hire more and better lawyers.. you're screwed. I would like to think better of big business but it be better to Hope Hello Games makes it through this attack.

    OTHER RANDOM NOTES AND THOUGHTS
    I had NO expectation of this being a common multiplayer type game like all those other MMO games out there. I expected it to be one of my challenges to meet another player some day in this universe. yes supposedly two player were on the same planet and were not seeing each other... From the video I saw of it doesn't look clear enough to me that they were in the same place at the same "time" key factor.

    The Game takes you on a virtual exploration of a universe as big as our own with practically infinite procedural outcomes for flora and fauna, layouts of land and sea, and an open universe to create your own story as you travel. A great thing about this game is its ability to allow you Free will to choose what you want to do. If you do not like the ability to make your own choices and want to have someone tell you where to go every step of the way this game is not for you.

    I continue to find new wonders, and new intrigue in the alien factions and monoliths, an stories behind them all; all hinting at something bigger to the game then just what we see. I appreciate a challenge in games like this; one that tests your durability to daunting tasks (which every game has), one that tests your appreciation for HOW the games creates everything you are exploring, one that test your skills at chilling out and enjoying what's around you.

    From the two years I spent following news on this game and the development of it. This game is not jsut meant for us but meant as a way Sean Murray has been able to create a childhood dream of his with a small team. And for me anyone who gets to experience their dreams in reality is VERY awesome. Not many of us have that chance and not many can make something as enormous as this happen with such a small team.

    Overall I will say this is a Niche game market style game. It is a game that EVERYONE should play and learn to play simple for the wonderful meditative therapy of slowing down and seeing what is around you. This part of human life has slowly been disappearing right before our eyes and no one even knows.    … Expand

But then you realize that you will do the same three things for the rest of the game, so probably for 50 - 100 hrs: Gather minerals, recharge your equipment, fly to the next planet that is shockingly similar to the planet you just visited. The lack of variety is ridiculous given the fact that everything is based on procedural generation. Most of the planets are lifeless pieces of rock. Maybe this is something that you can live with because sometimes there are these "wow" moments, when you finally find a planet with a lot of flora and fauna.
    Based on these impressions I could rate this 5/10 being an average space exploration game for casual players. BUT: The game was announced with misleading information. This is a fraud. This is criminal activity. There are so many features missing from the game that were originally promised. The whole experience is based on lies that came directly from the developers. I understand that one or two features might be missing from a game when it launches, because time was short, but this game is basically missing everything that was promised. The only feature it delivers is the repetitive mining. That's it. You even get bored by exploration. Also you don't have any motivation anymore to find other players because you WON'T SEE THEM. As a fact the developers said that you will be able to see other players. Not even 24 hours later this was already proven false. Two players stood at the exact same spot and were NOT able to see each other. I will now try to get my money back from Gamestop. This is the biggest disappointment since I started my gaming career in 1992.    … Expand

    Rebel Galaxy, which was a FREE game for Playstation Plus User for the month of August, is better than this $60 stinky pile of Dookie. All of the hype was blown out of proportion, and HelloGames and Sean Murray lied about their product. Lesson learned. Let someone else pre-order the game and complain about it before I waste my own money.

There's still things I haven't done. Perhaps the best way to explain it is this quote by Sean Murray: "What we did set out to do, for just one moment you play the game, you land on a planet and you feel embedded there, that this is a real place. It's something you've discovered for yourself and you have a moment of wonder, and for me that is unique to games that we can do that and I think totally justifies the game."

As soon as you get enough materials to fix your star ship, you can finally leave the planet you started on. Don't get me wrong, the first hour of playing this is pure awesomeness. But then it hits you like a bus with rocket thrusters, all that wonder and excitement you had for the game will be gone very soon. Now the game becomes a repetitive romp through an almost empty universe, full of terrible, derpy creatures, glitches, and constantly having to refuel your mining laser thing and life support. At the point where i had to get the materials to build a warp drive or whatever, I found myself going from planet to planet trying to find one goddamn material, that none of the planets near me had, yet it was essential to have this part on my ship. Past this point I really just gave up on the game. I haven't played it since the day it game out. Also, the amount of promises Hello Games made, that were all but abandoned, is disappointing, and if anything has ruined there career in game production. All in all, if you want to play this game, don't spend 59.99 on it, don't even spend 29.99 on it! If you really really want to experience the repetitive nature of No Man's Sky, wait and buy it when it is under 20 dollars.

    At time of writing Devs are already on patch 1.07 and I can only see the game improving as it gets more refined and polished. They have already significantly stabilized and balanced the game where required. Then there are the new features which I hope will be added in time. A lot to look forward to.

The first hour of the game was ok but It gets repetitive and the amount of crashes increases the more you progress to the big secret at the center of the galaxy, which turns out to be fancy loading screen which takes you to another galaxy to do it all again!

Eu por exemplo só vou terminar de platinar no PS4 e depois não vou jogar mais, só se atualizem o jogo realmente como estamos esperando. Recomendo a qualquer um que compre caso tenha alguma promoção muito boa nas lojas ou compra um usado. Acho que a nota 6 esta de bom tamanho para o jogo quando foi lançado e atualmente, vamos ver se no futuro ela pode melhorar.… Expand

    The shallowness is the bigger problem though. Especially with the £50 price. It has the same amount of depth as something like Pokémon Go and should be a free game with in-app purchases for determined players.

    It's just not worth £50.

    I requested a refund and didn't get one. Sucks but I'll survive! But I don't think I'll spend that kind of money on any game again. I'm done with full-price gaming. I'm not prepared to risk money on a new title and be burnt again, and I've already decided not to spend £50 on remakes and sequels.

    We may look back on No Man's Sky as this generation's ET moment. The game that marked the end of a console era. It's brought to a head many problems. The high expense of games and the lack of originality have been a problem for a while. Now we can add the low bar for quality. I'm done.    … Expand

    By the sounds of things Hello Games are going to be constantly updating this game adding new features which i am hopeful will alleviate some of the grind.

    Now for one of the even bigger gripes the price here in the UK i picked this game up for £46 in comparison the most recent Uncharted game cost me only £42, out of all my PS4 game purchases this so far is the worst value for money i honestly can't see myself still playing No Man's Sky in a couple of weeks let alone months.

    Update (30/08/2016)
    Still rated a 6/10 for me but it is pushing up towards a 7/10 i have found the key to enjoying No Man's Sky more is to play in small chunks an hour here and there between other games reduces the frustration that develops after long periods of play which i was finding.

    Hello Games have also been improving the game we are currently up to patch 1.07 hopefully more features will be upcoming in the near future updates.    … Expand

    The game starts out as an epic adventure. Your ship is dead in the water. You're stranded on a deserted planet with nothing to do but fix the ship and start the epic journey into space.

With 18 quintillion promised planets, that sounds like an epic journey to me. Unfortunately, this is where the games loses all it's appeal. Eighteen quintillion planets isn't exactly that. It turns out that this is a simple mathmatical formula that indicates the number of potential planets you could interact with. What that ends up equating to is that you have many planets that are essentially the same with only mild variations. If a planet has 6 different variables, you could end up with a planet that is 111111, or 111112, or 111113. Those are three different planets, but they really only changed one variable. So essentially the planet will look and feel exactly the same aside from that one altering variable. This makes for very boring gameplay.

    I like many others was expecting Minecraft for adults. With the ability to creat my own worlds. To build bases, and interact with aliens. The aliens are cookie cutter replications at best. I, like many others, continued playing the game for hours thinking, "There has to be more. So much more was promised. Maybe I'm just not far enough into the game to find these things yet." Sadly after about 25 hours, I'm still just mining resources, expanding my inventory slots, buying new ships and trying to learn languages. All of these things gets incredibly boring after about 5 repetitions. About 5 hours in the game started feeling monotonous. The game feels more like a $19.99 PSN game than it does a $60 full release.

    I'm still holding out hope to see if the game gets better as the developers start introduing new content with patches. I'm not holding my breath, as they didn't deliver on their first set of promises, so why would they deliver on their latest set. Hold out on this game. Give it some time to see exactly what the developers have in the works. Wait until those patches are released and find some friends who were foolish enough to believe the hype and bought the game sight unseen. Then if the devs can deliver on their promises, and only then, should you even consider wasting your money on this released too early game.    … Expand

The game is fun, but it's extremely light on content. The main "pillars" that had been touted so loudly prior to the game really filter into "exploration" alone as they other items, survival, combat, trading feel "empty".

    The game is very repetitive, which wouldn't be a bad thing if the actions/interactions were meaningful or impactful, but I don't feel they are.
    Many items that were mentioned prior to release didn't make it into the game, e.g. faction standings, trade routes, large space combat etc.

    The game could be amazing if it added these items in, because they've done a great job creating a massive universe, but currently, it just feels a little light.

    A universe of infinite size that is as deep as a puddle.

    No Mans Sky is a great, big, colorful and fantastic canvas for a game that hasn't been painted yet. Unfortunately the reviewers who state this game is nothing more than a tech demo are sadly correct. This is a game where the limited imaginations or poor planning or ineptitude are apparent at every turn. The fact that it is ALMOST    A universe of infinite size that is as deep as a puddle.

    No Mans Sky is a great, big, colorful and fantastic canvas for a game that hasn't been painted yet. Unfortunately the reviewers who state this game is nothing more than a tech demo are sadly correct. This is a game where the limited imaginations or poor planning or ineptitude are apparent at every turn. The fact that it is ALMOST a game is disapointing and it is more akin to the recent wave of indie developed walking simulators and resource gathering snoozefests that have plagued the "indie" genre for some time now. As of writing this review there is just not all that much or that interesting do or to have taken part. The premise of No Mans Sky is brilliant and it works for moments so brief and fleeting, in between an ocean of inventory management, repetition and cosmetic palette swaps.

    By far the best and most interesting parts of the game are really hidden, non existent or barely a part of No Mans Sky. Upgrades and different multi tools and ships were supposed to be meaningful and unique. Ships boil down to just a random mush of interchangeable ugly parts. Upgrades can all easily be earned without much effort or searching early in game. Landing on a gold mine planet is all too common and really hurts the early game progression system.

    Some of the most awe inspiring moments were some of the most dissapointing. I had landed on a planet and realized its sun would create an eclipse in a few minutes. Standing there holding my binoculars and staring into the sky, I watched and waited. Taking screenshots of the first moments of the eclipse were amazing and awe inspiring. A double eclipse seen perhaps for the first time. Where two planets block out one star in the same place at the same time. As I waited and watched the final minutes of sunset and eclipse I watch the darkened crescented planets hover in the twilight sky realizing most everything the developers said about this game was a lie. These planets would always and forever create an eclipse here in this very spot. The planets, stationary and inanimate. These were not living breathing planets or solar systems or galaxies.. They did not truly rotate, or orbit, or have true ecologys or biomes. These stars could never truly be reached. And the house of cards and all of the walls and illusion that was No Mans Sky collapsed. All in one eclipse. For me it was a look into the heart of how a game is created and perhaps perception itself. For all the things that should be learned from this game is that the reality is only real to the unaware perciever of the illusion. And perhaps reality itself just an illusion, like the word "game" in space game.

    No Mans Sky truly has a few unreplicable moments and grand moments. These moments unfortunately allow you to see the infinite walls for what they truly are, barriers.

    + Truly unique and almost perfect spacecraft flight.
    + True Open world.
    + Moments of awe

    -Very limited crafting and upgrading systems
    -Almost nothing to do but sightsee.
    -No real cutscenes other than the endgame cutscene or real story mode.
    -No variety in planet types (No ringed planets, no biomes, no gas planets, no planetary or cosmic phenomena other than black holes which are almost useless most of the time.)    … Expand

    Lemme sum up the issues (after 20 or so hrs of play):

    - Space "battles" are a joke, best to be ignored.
    - Creature diversity is non-existent. There are about 30 types of species and they vary in extremely minor things.
    - Creature AI is a joke.
    - Flying in the atmosphere is limited.
    - Vortex Cube planets breaks the game's economy.
    - Cannot transfer upgrades to new ships or multi-tools, which leads to a repetitive grinding for exactly the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
    - You're gonna visit the same 5 buildings over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
    - Beside mining and resource gathering, there is nothing "interesting" to do in this game. Creature discovery gets boring once you realize the issue #2.

I bought the game without following much of the hype and expecting a "walking simulator" in space with a few added perks. As a result, I really like the game after 20 hours. The colors and landscapes can be beautiful, the fauna and flora intriguing. Transitioning from planet to space to moon, etc is a really nice experience. I don't think they should have charged $60, but I would have felt comfortable paying $40 for this.

    That being said, I fully understand why so many people are disappointed for 2 main reasons - 1) misleading and false advertisement, and 2) shallow gameplay.

    The developers kept the aura of mystery to drive sales but in the process, they flat-out lied about features and displayed a demo that doesn't reflect the actual gameplay. If you're going to use mystery to sell your game I feel that you have a responsibility not to say anything misleading. They are very quiet since release and haven't really addressed any concerns. The reaction from the players would have been largely different if they had released a statement to clarify what would and would not be in the game at release (especially regarding multiplayer)

    The gameplay feels pretty shallow. Mining and crafting is very grindy. The inventory management is a chore. There are only 3 alien races. They don't really feel that unique to each other except their dialogue and your interactions with them are limited. The storyline is pretty meh and the journey to the center of the galaxy is seemingly pointless.

    I hope in the future they add new features to the game and perhaps someday a game will come out that builds on this foundation they have.

    TL;DR If you like exploring, appreciate simple aesthetics and don't get easily bored with a walking simulator you can absolutely enjoy this game. If you want a complex game with a nicely developed and fleshed-out storyline, gameplay system, combat, trading, etc, I wouldn't bother with this one. There isn't much to work towards and you will not find much in the way of rewards for your progress.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Developer Hello Games, and Sean Murray in particular, went from hero to zero within the first week of release. It took a little while for people to realize how little this game has to offer. 18 squintillion planets is not the same as 18 squintillion endlesslly interesting or surprising elements. That would be too much to ask, of course, but in reality there is a sense that you've pretty much seen and done everything within about 10-15 hours.

    A lot of that time is spent performing pretty dull and repetitive tasks - sorting inventories, mining rocks, talking to cut-out characters or reading sub-par sci-fi text. Yes, there are fun bits - blasting off from a planet and travelling to that moon you saw in the distance - is good for a while and the lack of load screens are a plus, but this feels like the bare bones of a full-price game.

    Initially, you're drawn into the promise of the game, but this feeling is soon replaced with frustration, disappointment and even resent. The lack of different ship types, the poor combat, the irritating sentry bots, the lack of factions etc. all of this has been well covered. Much of this could have been easily remedied even by a small development team. This is when games get extremely frustrating. Why is it that a few hours play can reveal glaring flaws that a team of people failed to notice in five years?

    I'd watched videos of Murray talking about his pet project, prior to release, and it seemed like he was a genuine fan-boy producing something for the joy of it, not monetary gain. So, why lie about the game's contents? Why, after five years of production, leave glaring design flaws in place (the transmitter/ship upgrade function is surely not intended)?

    If Hello Games had charged £15 for this, and not over-hyped/lied about the game's contents, then they would have been met with a much more positive reaction.

    As it stands, No Man's Sky is the first game I've actually contemplated seeking a refund for. My advice for gamers: wait for a price drop, wait for promised content to arrive and hope this promising game finally delivers.

    My advice to Hello Games/ Sean Murray: spend the next year or two providing FREE upgrades to this game, deliver on your hype/promises and maybe, just maybe the squintillion people who bought into this might forgive you. Oh, and stop grinning.    … Expand

    Ansonsten ist das Spiel technisch ein Wrack, die Grafik hat ihren eigenen Stil, aber auch nicht mehr. Das Gameplay ist nur eine "Hülle" - nichts ist wirklich zuende gedacht und wirklich KEIN Gameplay-Element bindet oder motiviert den Spieler! Es ist unfassbar, wie "einfach" das Spiel ist, und wie sinnlos man sich in allem was man tut vor kommt.

    Meine einzige Motivation, dieses Spiel zu spielen, war es einmal alles gesehen zu haben, was das Spiel zu bieten hat (Und das ist nicht viel), ein besseres Schiff zu bekommen, ein cooles Multiwerkzeug, und die Warp-Reaktoren um zu anderen Sonnensystemen reisen zu können, in der Hoffnung, dort mal sehenswerte Planeten zu finden.

    Das Ende (Zentrum der Galaxy) ist ein Witz, und die prozedurale Generierung durchschaut man bereits nach 2 Stunden, und ab dann fängt es an zu nerven!

    Es wurde so viel versprochen, und nur gefühlt 30% davon findet man im fertigen Spiel...

    If you have realistic expectations of what a procedurally generated game can be, those expectations will be met or exceeded. The game definitely has some bugs, like anything, and it's not for everyone, but taken honestly for what it is, it's a great game. Ignore the hype, and the anti-hype. It's more than worth the money.

    No Man's Sky, in my opinion, is an amazing experience. The thing about No Man's Sky is at the end of the day it is a niche game, & not everybody is going to like it. Just like games like Elite Dangerous & Star Citizen, you have people who either love it or hate it. I am a huge space sim fan. Space sims are my absolute favorite genre of game.

Just like games like Elite Dangerous & Star Citizen, you have people who either love it or hate it. I am a huge space sim fan. Space sims are my absolute favorite genre of game.

    That's who this game is for. The small group of players who love sci-fi space games. This game was unbelievably hyped up since it was announced. With all of that marketing & hype, it
    made its way into the view of mainstream gamers. So many gamers that don't normally play games like this, space/exploration games without much of a narrative, would not normally give a game like this a chance, or even hear much about it since it's such a small niche. This game was unfortunately destined to be a target of hate from mainstream gamers who don't normally play these types of games & people who let the hype get to them & set wild expectations on this video game. When NMS came out,
    these people were disappointed. They’re not use to games without an objective, quest system, a narrative telling them where to go & what to do. That's the thing about
    gamers like myself that love the slow pace & relaxing gameplay of games such as Elite & NMS that have no narrative or "purpose". Often before release the question
    "What do you do in NMS?" was asked over & over by traditional gamers that just couldn't grasp or understand the gameplay mechanic behind NMS. Some gamers just can't fathom
    why a game wouldn't have a narrative or end goal. But to me, these types of games are the best.

    NMS is certainly not perfect. But it is an amazing experience, & the core gameplay & mechanics are really fun but not without flaw. Exploration is fun. I love flying to so many different planets, exploring the
    wild & often beautiful results of the procedural generation. One thing that can be said & praised about NMS is the variety in planets, flora & fauna. The procedural generation of these elements
    is awesome. I have put in well over 70 hours in NMS, & I have to say I am extremely surprised in the fact that I am still seeing new planet types that I have yet to see, & different
    landscapes within these planets. Every time I go to a new planet I see a new animal I haven't seen yet. Sure, I see a decent amount of the same animals, like your common small "deer-like" &
    reptilian animals. But for every animal I have seen there’s just as much as ones I haven't seen. I'm not talking about animals with the same base model but with different procedural parts, for example
    a common deer base model archetype animal with different colors or stripes on one & on the next planet the same base model deer but with spikes on its back this time. This is common & does happen,
    but I'm always running into completely new types of animals with base models I haven't seen yet. And there truly are some funky animals out there. Some planets are barren & ugly. Sometimes it can take a while until you find a system that has lush, tropical like biomes with perfect weather. But when you do, they are absolutely gorgeous & is part of the fun in this game. Even the barren planets can be beautiful & have new landscapes that are unique that I have previously never discovered.

    The flying mechanic is admittedly mediocre. It's very arcadey & basic, & lacks depth. It's still fun, & I enjoy it & expected it to be arcadey. However, there are some mechanics of flying
    that are the result of poor design choices. For example, the "auto-pilot" feature when you're on a planet near the surface. You cannot go low on a planet surface. There is an invisible barrier about
    30-50 meters above ground that your ship cannot get under. It prevents you from getting too close to the ground & crashing. I understand it could be due to the procedural engines pop-in,
    but in my opinion that was a terrible choice. There could have been ways to prevent pop-in from that low. There could be at least a mechanic where you cannot get low until the LOD of the terrain
    is fully rendered. Once it's rendered low flight would be possible. I'm not sure, I'm not a game developer, but surely that's a fair example of how it could have been implemented to allow
    low flight. I think that was a huge mistake. I want to be able to fly low through canyons, under arches, between buildings, hover low above ground to see where I can l&, etc. That was a huge disappointment.
    Another mechanic of flying that is disappointing is the fact you cannot hover, reverse thrust or come to a complete stop on planet surfaces. Most likely due to the "auto-pilot/no low flight" mechanic.

    The core gameplay is pretty good. Yes, it can get repetitive. Yes, resource gathering & inventory management can become a nuisance. But at the end of the day, this is an exploration & survival
    game, where mechanics like this are a big part of.    … Expand

    It was so completely different from most games I play, I found myself fixed on finding "what was around the next corner" (or next galaxy in this case).

    But that intrigue will only last so long before everything starts to feel very much the same. Saying that, it gave me about 40-50 hours before I decided to stop - making sure I was still in a "happy place" with my experience.

    And that was the key for me - low expectations, and knowing when I'd had enough.

    Another big influence for me was the sound design... amazing! It drew me in and really gave weight and scale to the whole thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my second review and after playing it for sometime and watching videos of all the promises of what was supposed to be in the game I am doing a new one. I realised when watching said video why I was so hyped for the game as all the things Shawn said would be included, the list is far too big to mention here but watch one of the many 'NO MANS LIES' videos on Youtube or Angry Joes review. Not to mention that but also the ending which was a total pisstake. Luckily Amazon have been good enough to refund me my money and let me send the game back (got to love Amazon!) so I have no ordered Deus Ex! I heard that Hello Games were being sued for the use of the generation system the game uses, maybe this was why so many features were left out? Maybe Sony pushed to release it quickly? Maybe they run out of money to add all the features? I dont know but what I do know is by watching Angry Joes review it reminded me of all that was promised and that is not the game I received. If anyone saw any of the gameplay demos with lush planets and amazing creatures flying in the air or huge Dinosaurs and so on, none of this is anything like what I saw when I visited these barren, dry and bleak planets. All the animals looked fairly alike and it was just boring. Unfortunately this game is not worth £60 and even at a price of £20 you are going to get bored very quickly only to find out that if you do make it to the center of the galaxy you will find there is no pay off, like none at all, like there isnt anything there so all the grinding is for nothing. I am so happy I found that out before going there myself as I had make sure I stayed clear from spoilers but Angry Joes reviews made me need to find out what was at the center. I stuck up for this game as they were a small indie outfit who was getting lots of bad press and reviews but they deserve it because they lied to us about everything. The game is a shell of what was promised and if I hadnt been able to get my refund I would be very upset. That being said the first time you fly out from the planet you start from it is something special, after that however the monotony sets in. Such a shame as this could of gone down as one of the best games ever!… Expand

    Fly over a planet and watch repetition of the same hill/cave/crater, next to the same clearing/pond/crevice, and then the same building you've seen on the past 10 planets.

    Off-planet, space is exactly the same in every system.

    The animals rarely change significantly from one planet to the next. I've seen the same birds and same jellyfish looking thing on almost every planet.

    The buildings are all copy-paste from one plane to the next.

    And that's the entire game.

    Exploration implies, in my mind, the hope of finding something notable that nobody else has seen. That's why running in a hamster wheel isn't exploring, and flying from one plane to the next in this game doesn't feel like exploring.

    If you don't want to run in the hamster wheel, there's nothing else to do.

    I never would have bought this game if there was truthful advertising.    … Expand

    I'd rather be playing Tetris on Atari 2600 than this.

    All that beautiful promises about players running into each other in a massive world,joining factions sounds cool right ? Except that none of it is there in the game.. what is this an early Alpha ?

    Oh.. and yeah the ending OH MY GOD!!! the ending AAHHHHHH!!!!! you get a slap in your face for being so dumb and playing through it all.

    No Man's Sky - the first couple hours I enjoyed.
    No Man's Lie - before I started to wonder where all the missing features were that Sean Murray said were in the game.
    No Man's Cry - by the time I had reached the next system of planets everything dull planet becomes the same.
    No Man Don't Buy - I wouldn't call it a game, more like a tech demo that crashes a lot.

    Sean Murray literally showed videos of things that do not exist in the final game

    He's a piece of **** liar and I hope that dev studio goes bankrupt.

    Selling a game on lies, pathetic.

    I am sick to death of insecure games media fanbots, post NMS launch, telling us their offensive judgments on how NMS critics don't have enough imaginations, or they expected too much, or wanted perfection, or they wanted more then whats possible....offending unsatisfied gamers by treating them as unreasonable, having impossible expectations, or are just naive. Blaming gamers instead of the game.

    The NMS defence force has been in overdrive telling every one how wrong they are. Employing counter-criticism pieces as a desperate act to publicly react against strong criticism of No Man's Sky, treating its critics as unreasonable and unreliable.
    They are Making comments acknowledging the games problems, but are coming off as an insincere. Making an obligation of acknowledging NMS problems, but making that point merely in passing, hoping to not return. And then go straight into slamming its critics as unreasonable.

    There has been a growing divide between media reviewers and gamers unsatisfied with a lot of games , and No Man's Sky has really brought it to ahead. The counter-criticism by the media has strongly demonstrated this divide more than ever before. Smug, entitled, insider, know nothing know it all's, telling everyone how wrong they are, deliberately antagonising and widening that gap.

    I am directly asking those judgementalists, what were MY expectations for NMS, what is the limit of my imagination, and how that effected my NMS experience ? Can't do it, of course you can't. No one Can. So those positions are ridiculous arguments. And they are offensive.    … Expand

    This feels like they built a world for a game but haven't built a game in it yet. There is nothing to do except wander through a repetitive landscape, and when you realize there is nothing to do you fly to another world with another repetitive landscape and nothing to do.

Maybe they were coding the PS4 version for the newer model coming out and forgot to check for bugs in the original configuration. The newest patch fixed the save issues (although now it saves the game under both save game slots) and it still crashes. On top of that there are still bugs that are common and annoying and have been talked about for days. The game play is not really an issue, although I just gave up because I am not close to the center and have maxed out on everything long ago. It is worth a 2 week rental or PS+ giveaway.… Expand

    Features that Sean Murray and Hello Games promised their consumers are alarmingly either nonexistent, or gutted for barebones generic alternatives. It's hard to look at the "finished" game, the post-release interviews, onstage demos, and not think you as the consumer have been lied to.

    The sole promise of endlessly exploring 18 quintillion planets is what convinced me to purchase No Man's Sky nearly three years ago when I viewed the announcement trailer. And I'll admit, I promptly jumped aboard the hype train and remained insanely excited until the game's release. Needless to say, It was a very, very long three year wait for me. I've now played the game for over 30+The sole promise of endlessly exploring 18 quintillion planets is what convinced me to purchase No Man's Sky nearly three years ago when I viewed the announcement trailer. And I'll admit, I promptly jumped aboard the hype train and remained insanely excited until the game's release. Needless to say, It was a very, very long three year wait for me. I've now played the game for over 30+ hours, and it breaks my heart to admit this...I'm utterly devastated.
    My disappointment didn't immediately set in. Actually, from the first moment I blasted off a planet and entered the vastness of space, I was awestruck. I had many enjoyable hours from that point on. But eventually, around the 20+ hour mark I realized something I didn't want to admit, No Man's Sky was a lemon. At first, just like its automotive equivalent, it runs smoothly, and looks great. But then, slowly but surely, the game began to reveal its flaws. The frame rate dips became more noticeable and I was experiencing so many system crashes that I had to modify my play style to accommodate. Yes, you can explore an infinite amount of planets, but the whole affair is incredibly dull and repetitive. But I was still having a decent time, even if it had evolved into a material collecting grind fest so I could blast from one planet to the next. in an attempt to discover something new. I enjoyed the occasional beautiful vistas, and documenting the weird animals. But I began to wonder, when will I discover a utopian planet akin to the one in the E3 announcement trailer that had been featured so heavily? Why couldn't I find the massive creatures I'd seen in the previews? Furthermore, after hours, and hours of gameplay, why can't I find anything in this game that has the aesthetic appeal to what was featured on the Colbert Show just a few months ago? Well friends, that game doesn't currently exist. Sean Murray and Hello Games duped me, and they duped me good.
    There are so many amazing gameplay elements that Murray talked about over the years that have been severely dumbed-down, or cut from the game altogether. This isn't simply my opinion. (Angry Joe's video review is a great source to view missing game elements) This isn't the game I was sold on, this isn't the No Man's Sky I was promised. I believe, or at least hope Murray and Hello Games originally intended to create an incredible product. But either the budget/technology just wasn't there to see their vision through, or they were pressured by Sony to release a half baked product, and improve it over time through patches and DLC. Or maybe, just plainly and simply, Murray is a lying fraud.    … Expand

    interesting lore, as you learn about the history of what happened in the past and how the galaxy came to be.

    UI and some game mechanics needs improving: ( need shortcuts and hotkeys to make life easier)
    better waypoint system needed for planets and the interstellar travel ( devs confirmed this is in the works)

    There is no life. There are always the same (stupid) things in every planet you visit, and even the randomness of the procedural system can make it look different.
    They could make an effort to create the “bricks” more numerous and varied.
    There are 10 kinds of trees , 10 types of stones , 10 types of bushes, 5 tyes of flowers, 20 kinds of elements. How can a procedural system create live planets , each one different from the other?
    Where are the mountains , the plains , seas or rivers ? Where is the randomness of a living planet?
    Only the color and the position of the things are different. But, serously?
    How can a ridiculous animal species produce exactly the same ridiculous sound light years away?
    How can one more identical baby-face dog make me feel to be alive on an alien planet?
    How can give me the pleasure of exploration?

    There are so many features that are missing that we were explicitly told were in the game.
    Performance is awful, there is no depth at all. Controls are horrible, User interface is the most awkward and badly designed one to date.

    While I’m sure developer Hello Games is still tweaking things and perhaps even creating more content for No Man’s Sky, the current state of affairs is a strong one. This galactic opus still offers an infinite amount of content for those who want to lose themselves among the stars, but now also contains a concrete throughline that will satisfy a wider array of players. It can be irritating at times, but it’s also full of stunning moments and the satisfaction of building a virtual life among the stars. Four years after launch, it’s finally a journey worth taking.

    While No Man's Sky is engrossing for the first few hours, repetition starts to set in and the proceedings grow dull. The developers stated that they plan to add significant features such as base building which could dramatically change the game for the better. There's a promising foundation present, so it's possible to envision a more substantial game down the line. As it currently stands, though, our excitement to cross the universe faded sooner than we expected.
